New Chinook owner, have a question..

[XRYoda]

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I do not know what happened to my first submission, I must have goofed? Anyways, I just bought a very nice 2003 Concourse, and while looking at my stock Parallax converter(I have an aftermarket replacement on the way) I noticed that the #7 fuse location, serving an orange wire, has the fuse missing. I did not receive any manuals with this RV and have not been able to find any info both here and on Google. Any ideas as to what this orange wire serves? Anyways, I am excited to have a Concourse now, and after having a few "throw away" cheaply made trailers and a class C, have learned that buying a quality rig is the smart thing to do. I am sure that I will keep this Chinook for many years and plan on keeping it in a good and improving condition. Thanks!

Hi,

Go to the Reference subsection, and then to the second page. Look for manuals.

If you download and check the diagrams in the 2004 Concourse manual, the 7th fuse with orange wire was for the stock 12v TV.

Welcome and congrats on your new Chinook!

Yep, on my '99 the orange wire is TV also (so it goes up the raceway over the couch and into the overcab on the driver's side).

By the way, on the manuals: I have noticed that some of the later manuals did not give as much information on the wiring runs, plumbing layout, and etc. The late 90's and 2000 (at least) manual have full layouts for the wiring, supply plumbing, DWV plumbing, LP piping, etc. Much of it is probably the same or very similar to your 2003. So if you don't see those things in the 2003 manual (I forget when they changed), try looking over the 2000 manual, just knowing there might be a few differences.

Thank you very much guys, and I will download and save the manual. Very excited to own a Chinook, after going through it this last weekend, I am very impressed with its quality. She is a keeper for sure.
